I'm really scared

[ImHere_Again]

For the past few days, I have been feeling my chest tight. It feels like anxiety but a little more intense. I tested positive for covid about two weeks ago. I didn't feel good for like three or four days. After that I thought I was ok. I was wrong, I started getting a lot of pressure in my chest. I thought it was anxiety so I brushed it off. I got the same feeling again two days later but this time it didn't go away all day. Usually when I get a similar feeling I simply distract myself from it and it goes away. It's frustrating because this feeling doesn't let me sleep. I'm too scared to fall asleep and have my heart stop or something. I don't know what to do, at this point. I am not sure if it's bad anxiety or it has to do with lasting affects of covid. Im exhausted, at this point. I haven't had a good night's rest in days. I look at myself in the mirror and I don't see myself anymore. I look different, which scares me. I'm so scared of this feeling in my chest. I am starting to think it's not anxiety anymore. I am scared to go to the hospital. To make matters worst my mother is going through covid right now and I don't want to worry her. She is having a hard time herself. I am afraid I will just forget to breathe or have a heart attack. I feel like I am not going to make it.

I strongly encourage you to seek medical attention. Perhaps a dr visit to determine if it is serious before going to the hospital. Sometimes finding out what is going on can lessen the anxiety. Also, sharing the concern can lessen the anxiety. If not you're mom, is there someone else you can share with, relative, friend, etc? Prayers for safety, health and peace.

I'll be praying for you ❤️ try not to panic it will make you feel worse, also: if you feel you need to go the hospital go.
